Operator <= (Less Than Or Equal)

FreeBASIC

Operator <= (Less Than Or Equal)
 
Compares an expression less than or equal to another expression

Syntax
Usage

result = lhs <= rhs

Parameters

lhs
The left-hand side expression to compare to.
rhs
The right-hand side expression to compare to.
T
Any pointer type.

Return Value

Returns negative one (-1) if the left-hand side expression is less than or equal to the right-hand side expression, or zero (0) if greater than.

Description

Operator <= (Less than or Equal) is a binary operator that compares an expression less than or equal to another expression and returns the result - a boolean value in the form of an Integer: negative one (-1) for true and zero (0) for false. The arguments are not modified in any way.

This operator can be overloaded to accept user-defined types as well.

Example

Operator > (Greater than) is complement to Operator <= (Less than or Equal), and is functionally identical when combined with Operator Not (Bit-wise Complement).

   If (69 <= 420) Then Print "(69 <= 420) is true."
   If Not (60 > 420) Then Print "not (420 > 69) is true."


Dialect Differences
